This is a set of two Tokoname-ware matcha bowls. These are carefully crafted pieces, designed with the scenery of poured matcha in mind. Please note that a box is not included. [About the Work] These are works by a ceramic artist based in Tokoname City, Aichi Prefecture. I am acquainted with the artist and received many of their works, which I have kept unused. Therefore, I would like many people to enjoy them, which is why I am listing them for sale now. Please use them for tea ceremony, daily use, or as decoration, according to your preference. [About the Artist] The artist has won multiple prestigious awards, including the "Asahi Ceramics Exhibition Grand Prix" and the "Chozo Ceramics Exhibition Chozo Grand Prize," and is highly acclaimed for both their technical skill and artistic sensibility. The artist's name will be disclosed only to the purchaser, so please be aware of this in advance. [Characteristics of the Style] The artist is famous for their "yakishime" (unglazed) works made in a cave kiln. They create many dynamic pieces that convey the power of earth and fire, such as "shizen-yu" (natural glaze) formed by the natural melting and adhesion of wood ash without the use of glaze, and "hi-iro" (fire color) that changes color depending on the direction of the flame. While their style is based on tradition, their unique forms and firing expressions are highly regarded. ◎These items are also listed on other sites. Please understand that they may be sold out.
